Smiles all round at Dundas
The sun was shining and the football was flowing as Granville & District Soccer Football Association side Dundas United Recreation Club hosted a special ALDI MiniRoos Gala Day on Saturday 22nd of July in conjunction with the Western Sydney Wanderers, the local association as well as Football NSW at Curtis Oval.
The promotion of the ‘world game’ was alive and well as over 800 people flocked the spiritual home of the Dundas United Recreation Club which featured community engagement at its best via a collaborative effort from the Western Sydney Wanderers FC, Granville & District Soccer Football Association, Football NSW as well as various clubs from the GDSFA.
Western Sydney Wanderers FC with Granville & District Soccer Football Association arranged for at least one team from each of its affiliated clubs to be in attendance with matches as regular round 15 fixtures took shape.
Along with the support of Western Sydney Wanderers players Brendan Santalab and Jumpei Kusukami, an exciting ALDI MiniRoos Kick-Off zone conducted by Football NSW also took place.
Football NSW ALDI MiniRoos Game Development Officer Zac Ribeiro was full of praise on how the day’s activities unfolded.
“It was an amazing day and one theme that was present was that everyone involved in the event was enjoying themselves – something football does to everyone from all parts of the world.
“Clubs from across the GDSFA rolled in with players representing their team colours with pride and excitement to play football.
“With the support from Football NSW setting up the ALDI MiniRoos shooting target and Marquee for fruit giveaways and Western Sydney Wanderers who activated their dribbling challenge with player appearances, the atmosphere around the park was electric.
“I would like to commend GDSFA and club representatives from Dundas who put on a memorable Gala Day, one I am sure that will live long in the memory of the hundreds of excited ALDI MiniRoos players.”
